Other Schemes
UK National Walk To School Week
National Walk to School week takes place every May in the UK. Each year the theme is different but the aim is to promote walking to school in a fun way. Schools across the country are encouraged to take part and the events are featured in local, regional and national press. It’s a good way of getting people involved in walking to school and getting people to break the habit of driving to school so they hopefully carry on walking after the campaign has finished. For more information visit www.walktoschool.org.uk.
Record-Breaking Walking Bus
Brake, the road safety charity, have organised a record-breaking largest simultaneous Walking Bus event for this June. It takes place during school time and any school in the UK can take part. Children walk in an organised group around their neighbourhood wearing high visibility clothing. The aim is to promote Walking Bus schemes, walking to school and to raise driver awareness near schools.
